JOHN HARVEY,
A Former Member of the Stain Gang, Ar
rives in Augusta.


John Harvey of Medfeld, former men,
Der of the Stain gang, arrived in this city on
the eight O'Clock train, last evening and was
seen by Journal reporter. He is q man of
medium height, gray hair and slightly red
dish mustsehe and beard He is not bad
looking man by any means. His counte-
nance is frank and open and be tells his story
in plain straightforward manner. One may
well believe after seeing the man that the
testimonial of his employer as to his honest
life since serving out his sentence and break
ing loose from the Stain gang is no, unmer-
| tied.
In answer to the reporters quiries Harvey
told substantially the same story which has
appeared in our columns before. He felt
confident that Stain and Cromwell were the
men that robbed the Dexter bank.
"Do you think that Young Stains story is
true?" asked the Journal man.
SIN the main do l have been asked if
Charles Stain wasn't habitual liar. l an
swer yes, l certainly know it, but l know
that he can tell the truth, and while there
may be some inaccuracies in his statements
l feel sure that under all is a strong founda-
ton of TRUTH
The subject of ghosts at Norridgewock Jail
being mentioned, Harvey said "His belief
in such things would not be at all strange, for
he is of q very nervous organic alton and ter
| r,h1y = A.
and has always been 9 firm believer in spirit
ualism. This is how my half brother, who
pretends to be medium, obtained a greater
influence over him than other man he ever
met"
''Is old Stain afraid of these spirits7"
ono, don't Thick he is. He is man that
is afraid of nothing. However firmly he
might believe in them he would not hesitate
| to meet them
| Harvey further stated that he first heard
the Stain gang talking of Maine in 1876.
They were discussing the excellent field for
business which it afforded. They spoke of
Dexter, Waterville, Skowhegsn, Winthrop
and Gardiner. They spoke of these places
as if familiar with them.
'Did they do any bank robbing to your
knowledge?"
"No; the operations know of were most
ly confined to the cracking of safes. When
they went on large matters like bank rob-
berry they did not take the gang but secured
the aid of outside experts. Jimmy Hope was
one of these"
There is no doubt but what the testimony
of Harvey will have an important bearing
upon this case. He will go on to Dexter to-
day, to testify in the preliminary examination

A Lie Nailed.

To the Public:
We understand from reliable source
that Il report is being industrously cir
culatcd throughout portions of the
county TO the effect that the merchants
of Russellvillc, because they have q
new court house to build, are charging
more for goods and paying less for cot
ton than other merchants at other towns
in the county. We understand that on
account of this report some parties who
would otherwise bring their cotton aud
their trade to Russellville are taking
the same to other markets.
We wish to say that any report OF
this nature can only eminate from a
source wholly irresponsible and totally
destitute of any regard whatever for
the truth. We assure our friends
throughout the county that the report
is false in toto, and while we intend to
build aud present to the countya hand
some and costly court house. we also
intend to maintain Russellville's repu-
tatioa as the best cotton market and the
cheapest trading point in the county.
We are pleased to assure the public
that never in the history of RUSSELL
Vile has her business houses been bet
ter stocked up with goods, and we
pledge ourselves to pay full market
prices for cotton and sell goods as
cheap as the cheapest.
We cordially invite all to vi it our
